Summary
Daycation On The River is a private riverside campground and cabin resort on the Santa Fe River in Gilchrist County. While not a traditional state-park spring, the property includes small spring-fed clearings along the riverbank, and staying here is one of the few ways to legally enjoy these spots since they sit on private land. It’s best thought of as a river basecamp with spring access, popular for boating, floating, and relaxing on the water.
